> Dear all,
>
> as the subject of Wiki Loves Monuments calendars has already been brought up
> on this list, I feel it's time to provide you with some general information
> about them, our order process, and shipment information.

> This is going to be quite a long e-mail, so I'll jump straight to the topic.
>
> == Specification ==
> # The calendars are going to consist of 14 pages: the front cover with the
> overall winner; back cover with licencing information and information about
> the contest, etc.; and 12 pages, one for each month of the year, with the
> remaining top-13 pictures.
> # They are going to be A4 in size, and will be printed on a high quality
> paper in a environment-efficient way, thanks to the involvement of die
> Umweltdruckerei.
> # The weight is not yet known (definitely < 400 g per item), but we'll try
> to make them as lightweight as possible, as this will have a huge impact on
> the shipping costs.
>
>
> == Ordering and shipment ==
> # Thanks to die Umweltdruckerei, every country will receive 15 calendars for
> free. The shipment of those 15 copies will be covered from the international
> budget, so you won't need to pay anything at all if you order just this
> number.
> # If you'll need more than those 15 copies, you'll be able to order more,
> but you'll need to cover the costs of the additional copies yourselves, and
> also cover the additional costs of shipment.
> # The cost of one copy is €3.51 (that's €2.95 + 19% of valued added tax in
> Germany).
> # Shipping costs for additional copies will vary depending on the distance.
> You will receive the estimated shipping costs as soon as possible.
> # It is currently not possible for individuals to purchase the calendars; it
> will only be possible if the Wikimedia Foundation or a chapter decides to
> order a bigger quantity and include them in their own shops or produce the
> calendars by themselves using our design.
> # The design file will be released under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 licence, and will
> be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons as soon as it's ready, so you'll be able
> to use it for your own purposes, including selling the calendars in a shop
> as mentioned above.
